The GOP has their own celebs to include Elon Musk, who has his own fan base and an entire social media platform to endorse those views every day, if he wishes. There are plenty of other well known actors and celebrities that back the GOP as well. But yet, here you are.
Celebrity status aside, most of those people are actually US citizens as well. While they have larger platforms to speak on, you just complaining about freedom of speech. Just like you are free to spout of nonsensical garbage, Swift is free to endorse whoever she wants.
What? She is a voting citizen expressing her opinion about politics. It's quite literally the field of every person in the US.
Restrictions on any kind of speech for anyone, unless those words pose an immediate threat to other lives, is the exact opposite of the first amendment.
Learn how rights work.
To be totally fair, these people only seem to want the rights that work for them and oppress others. Other's rights and influence are no longer fair unless they align with their bigotry.
